Tikka "Rokslide Special", let's see 'em

[Nomosendero]

At least they look good!

Anyone have a Boyds stock on their tikka? Specifically looking for a maple stock or something similar from another company without breaking the bank...

Boyd’s makes some low quality shit.

Heard some mixed reviews... Was thinking of buying a blank and getting custom work done.

I think for a classic stock design, if you're not super picky, boyds would be a good option for getting a maple stock and then finishing it yourself. You'd need to bed it as well. I wouldn't bother with having them pillar bed it.

Getting some rounds down range today.

 

[HingleMcCringleberry]

Just got my backup 6mm creedmoor prefit barrel in from preferred. But the current proof research is still shooting good at around 1k rounds.

I liked my .223 RSS so much, I got another special set up in .243 Winchester for this fall.

 

[TetonRecon]

Tikka compact .223, cut to 18” and threaded by Kinport Peak Rifles, AB Raptor 8 with 4” reflex, extended picatinny rail to accommodate a thermal, SWFA 10x MOA, SKD Pig stock pack, RRS Anvil-30, Leofoto SA-324CL, shooting 77gr TMK’s of course. It’s been shooting .55” 5 shot groups in load development so far. I’ll make sure to shoot a 30 shot group before hunting big game with it!

New RT 223 16”

You mind showing the plate you have mounted to the stock that you are clipped into?

Yep. It’s just a small contoured pic rail. Much easier on the hands than arca. My tripod heads and bipods accept both pic and arca.

This is the 6.5 RSS. Matching .223 wasn't ready in time for the season.

Rokstok lite and a rechamber to 6mm cm in the future.

I’ll be putting together my first Rokslide special soon. I plan on using it for training and hunting. I have the following two scopes that each have their own drawbacks, which should I go with:

1. Nightforce SHV 4-14 F1 Mil-R reticle
2. SWFA fixed 10x42 Mil-Quad

I’d go with the milquad I don’t think it has any drawbacks

I guess since the 6x is seen as the gold standard, I figured the 10x is just a less than optimal version.

But thank you! I’ll go with the swfa.

 

[cowdisciple]

I have the 10x SWFA on a T1x and I don't love the field of view. I'm pretty tempted to get another Maven 1.2 and put that on there instead.

That said, try what you've got, go shoot it, and you can always change it later.

Here's my start to my RSS. A new to me Tikka T3 lite in 243. My first Tikka rifle to boot. Currently in full factory condition with a VX3 3.5-10 on it until I can save up for a better scope. I'm gonna put a T3X factory stock on her and replace the bolt shroud and recoil lug, then she'll basically be a t3x from what I've read. Also currently has factory Tikka rings but I'm sure I'll change those when I get new scope.

What would the new go-to scope be if one wasn't wanting to spend 1k since the 3x9 SWFA is no longer attainable?
Thinking about a Trijicon Huron 3x12 and using the BDC.
I have a SWFA fixed 10x but that doesn't seem ideal for this rifle and its pretty chonky.
